Another elitist lefty.

Wouldn't your travel dollars go further by giving to the poor? Or is that someone else's job?

The Secret Service provides protection to all presidents and their families for life. The Obamas can spend their money any way they want. What's the big deal here? The Obamas aren't getting any special treatment that every single past president and their family has never gotten.



You can travel the US all you want, but you simply don't get the culture shock that you do when traveling abroad.

Maybe all you angry people should write letters to the school and ask them why didn't they change the trip to a location that would be approved by the voters....

Or maybe the Obama children should be prohibited from participating in school functions. Maybe they should be home schooled...that way no one can complain about how much gas it costs to get them to and from school five days a week.

This post demonstrates an alarming ignorance of United States history.

What about the gulf region, who's economy was devastated by BP?

Why do the obomba's almost always leave the states?

Perhaps after flying around the country as often as they do, maybe they wanted to see something different.

Why are you limiting U.S. history as the record of events that occurred after some arbitrary date?

Have you been to Milan? Rome? London? Egypt? Tokyo? Australia? Michu Picchu? African plains? There are plenty of amazing places outside of the US and perhaps they want their kids to go see some. They're the parents. Their kids can do what they want.

Yes, But aren't they in school?

Wasn't it the Liberals attacking the conservatives for having their kids out of school trampsing around the campaign trail taking their kids out of school?
This is NO DIfferent.

Obama should be arrested for letting his children play hooky from school - it happens to other parents - why not him?
